Review, Swatch - Clinique Cheek Pop 03 Berry Pop

Apr 26, 2014

Clinique Cheek Pop is a darling blush if you ask me.
There are many things to love about this little one. The adorable look, simple and sturdy packaging, 4 of very wearable shades, good color payoffs and lasting power, and even the price that is just right.
True I don't think the colors are all that unique, although they pretty much cover the whole spectrum. I was still inclined to pick one up mostly attracted by the "powderless powder" finish it supposedly gives.

Clinique Cheek Pop

03 Berry Pop

I mean, look at it.

It doesn't get much cuter than this.

I also considered Plum Pop which is another cool toned pink but a little lighter than Berry Pop.

To me, Berry Pop looks brighter and has more red.

The texture is indeed unique.

The blush feels very dense and hard to touch, and there is virtually no fallout.

I used my fingertip for this swatch, and you can see how creamy and even the finish is.

Berry Pop is a vibrant raspberry pink.

It is quite pigmented but I find it is not as difficult to blend out as I've read from some reviews. I also think it has to do with the embossed surface that deposits the color unevenly on the brush. For this, I use a fluffy brush like the Real Techniques blush brush (which I normally don't like for blush since I find it awkwardly big) with a gentle patting motion.

I adore Berry Pop mainly for the "powderless" finish that mimics the one of cream blush.

Turns out I have quite a few blushes with similar tones, but it is worth having another one when it comes with different finish. (Yup, it's the sound of "justification".)

Soooo beautiful, I'm dying to get one. I actually want that exact same shade or ginger pop! I love berry shades, I'm such a fan and I love the pigmentation of it. The packaging of the product is just too cute and I don't think I'll be able to hold off for very long!

Hey Lena, I have Ginger and Berry, and I've been using them a lot! I don't think you have chubby cheeks at all :p You know, after a certain age, it's better to have some apples! Otherwise it could really age you ;)

This is so pretty on you! How does it compared with Tom Ford's blushes in terms of quality?My reason tells me that i dont need more blushes after spoiled by TF, but i still can find some excuses like it will be perfect on vacation cause it's so travel friendly ! They are too hard to résist !Xoxo

Hi Michelle! Thank you.I am sorry but I cannot compare this to TF as I've yet to experience them. I would think the finish is still different. The colors are very pretty but quite basic, in my opinion. It is priced right and the packaging is sturdy, so it will make a great vacation blush. :)

Haha, we all need a bit of justification in our lives! ;) This looks adorable on your cheeks, love that youthful, rosy flush it gives. I'm also primarily intrigued by the formula of this - especially how it has no powderiness and is dense and reminds you almost of a cream blush in finish. I agree the shade selection isn't the most unique but I may have to check these out in person next time I'm at a Clinique counter.

I've become a master of justifying my makeup purchases. LOLI've come across a few cream blushes I like but I still don't reach for them that often. I feel I lack the skill so this is actually perfect! I think Peach Pop would look adorable on you, too. :)

Haha actually I think you'd like all 4 shades! For me, this is it for now unless they makes this a permanent collection and add more colors. RBR or another NARS would be my next blush purchase, which shouldn't really happen anytime soon...;p

Taking multiple shots of selfies, I always end up with more funny ones than the decent ones. What can I do? LOL ;DNow I find Berry Pop to be quite versatile. The color seems to look different depends on the lip color you wear. :)

I only have Plum Pop, but I love it just as you seem to love Berry Pop! I agree about the formula and texture. I love that there's no fallout. It's interesting how dense the powder it, yet it's still easy to apply and blend. I want Ginger Pop, but I know I don't need it. Ugh. Your skin looks flawless, by the way! And you've kind of sold me on Dior Kiss Me too :)

I remember adoring Plum Pop on you! I still find working with cream blush a little difficult, so Clinique Cheek Pop is a godsend. It gives me the desired finish without the hassle! :)My skin isn't all that. It is mainly the softbox lighting and the skin smoothing function of my camera. Sometimes it's too much. ;p
